Can i Just Say...Reading by erh (U8762072) 22 November 2008 To start with im not a reading or a southampton fan i was at the game having got tickets from a friend at work. however i was disappointed at the lack of support from the reading fans. throughout the whole game the 3,500 fans from saints outsung a crowd of over 23,000 less than a 6th of the amount of fans there. even before the match it sounded to me as if there was only 1 set of fans there. the only time you ever made much noise was for the 5 minutes after your goal, and then it sounded like a very intimidating atmosphere. You need to support your team, and become the 12th man, in contrast i thought the saints fans sung for almost all of the game, and were very loud and supportive of there team. Latest comments

But there is no excuse for the fans not to get behind the team. I did try in the centre of the east stand but fans around did not want to know. They were just waiting for a goal to kickstart them into action. We (the fans) must improve. Come on you Royals
